Gentlemen of the guild. The other day our Guardian shot down a Republican Shipping vessel, civilians. As you know all contact with the Rheinland government has been lost for sometime now. This does not change our relations with the Rheinland. Two Republican Shipping vessels appeared to be carrying niobium to the war machine in Rheinland. They were warned not to return to the Sigma-13 operations since tensions with Rheinland were still very high. One of those two vessels did return and attempted to flee our patrols. This vessel was halted in the Sigma-19 mining operations. After explaining the situation for 15 minutes to the transport vessel, it was very clear to the patrols the junker cruiser "Tron" was being hailed to come to his aid. We were tricked, therefore the Republican Shipping transport vessel was shot down after attempting to flee during Trons attack on our patrols. Since then this ship has been added to our kill on sight list. One the kill is claimed please inform the council so the list may be changed. Due to the recent strikes by cruiser class vessels the Xcalibur will hold ground in the Sigma-13 mining operations.
A Blueblaze was recovered from the incident and sold to the ALG at Helgoland.
Ships carrying the identification .:j:. have explained their actions and have been removed from the hostility list.

In reference to previous communications, I shall highlight a previous statement.
' Wrote:For certain, no other member of the GMG has elected to commission a GANK squadron ship. This sends a clear message to me that the Guild does not wish to be associated with such.
I am therefore disbanding the GANK. This will take time and funding so I ask for patience at this time.
The GANK is disbanded because it cannot source pilots from either within the GMG or outside, GANK ships will be recommissioned as regular Kappa squadron ships. I might point out that even in spite of directives to do so, other GMG members have thus far refused to commission any GANK ships for defense - electing instead to commission new Kappa Squadron or BD ships.
So if the board sees fit to exclude me from taking command of Kappa, regardless of whether an alternative leader is appointed (or who appoints them) I do not have any command position at all.
During our investigation of a pirate attack we came across an outcast fighter carrying Gas Miners. He refused to release them without a price and we took action in recovering the pilots. The ship was destroyed almost instantly during our strike. This ship was not a member of the Blue Lotus Syndicate therefore does not carry the same right as their members. There was no violation of the treaty which he has attempted to destroy today.
Any outcasts holding GMG pilots and refusing to release them are to be shot down. Any outcasts vessel refusing to obey our laws are to be escorted out the system and if refusing will face the consequences. We live in the ways of our guild therefore during their visits here, so must the outcasts.
